Step 3: Lemon and Garlic

Like many of the fruits and vegetables featured on our website, lemons and limes contain unique flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. - www.whfoods.com

You can increase the health benefits you receive from garlic by letting it sit after you've chopped it or crushed it. If you give your chopped/crushed garlic time to sit before changing its temperature (through cooking) or its pH (through the addition of acidic food like lemon juice). - www.whfoods.com

Step 4: Olive Oil

Add the olive oil.

Step 5: Spice

Add the spices and hot sauce.

Spicy foods have many health benefits. Don't be shy with the hot sauce. It may rev-up your metabolism, lower bad cholesterol and help prevent cancer.

Step 6: Pulse

Pulse the food processor. You may need to remove the top a couple times and reorganize the spinach to make sure it all gets chopped. If you couldn't fit all of the spinach in earlier, add it now. Taste it, add more spices if needed.

Step 7: I'm Strong to the Finish...

'cause I eats me spinach.

This salad is good alone, but can be used as a condiment, as an addition to another salad, etc. Use your imagination.
